Epic rage quit

Sort:
dapitts

I think I played pretty well; definitely took advantage of some blunders by Black.  Aside from my desire to air out a rage quitter, I'd love some feedback.

Feedback point one: just realized I don't know how to insert/post the game.

Got it!

 I think you played pretty well for your rating. You got to expect rage quit and other immature behavior at your rating. Your opponent just signed up recently and is having difficulty dealing with loss. Just let it go and have fun. I highly recommend the Tactic Traner and Chess Mentor.

Y do players quit? I can handle losing my queen it makes me play harder to try and win players take this game too seriously! U will never win if u dont give it your best shot!

I'm looking back on this and just realizing that I forgot to mention in the original post that my irritation was based not on the other player quitting, but on the fact that he forced me to sit there and wait for him to time out for like 15 minutes. Sure, sometimes you just gotta resign, but hit the dang button!

Why did this guy quit? Given the play right up to the end, almost anything could happen.

A good player will stay to the rest of the game

Even if u kno u r going to lose finish the game out yes it will hurt ur ego but it will just show u there are better players than u!

Canadians.... all the same

Ok... I don't mean to argue against my own position, but I DO thin there is a time to resign. This guy should have resigned around move 77-78, but he made me play a 100+ move game. Why?!

When u resign doesnt that go against fair play policy?

No, resigning doesn't go against the fair policy. Resigning immediately/aborting a game because you don't like what color you got does. Allowing a live game to timeout for like 15 minutes does, for sure. But a legitimate resignation from a lost position is totally consonent with the fair play policy.

Aborting does. Resigning doesn't.

Totally consonent, huh?  Did you mean consistent?

Definition 3.

P.S. Don't play the pedant. If you do, NEVER be wrong. :)

DrSpudnik

No, no. Keep playing the pedant. We all could use a good laugh.
